Any Condition

No repairs needed

We buy houses across Richland County for cash, in any condition, including tenant-occupied rentals. Columbia drives this county, and its economy runs on the university, Fort Jackson and state government rather than on Charlotte — so rental property makes up far more of what we buy here than anywhere else we work.

About Richland County

Selling a house in Richland County

Richland County is Columbia, the South Carolina state capital — 136,632 residents at the 2020 census, founded in 1786.

Its economy runs on state government, the University of South Carolina, healthcare, Fort Jackson, insurance and manufacturing rather than on anything happening in Charlotte.

Its historic districts include Granby Mill Village, Waverly, Elmwood Park, University Hill and Five Points.

Deeds are recorded at the Richland County Register of Deeds, 1701 Main Street, Room 101, Columbia — 803.576.1910.

What that means if you are selling

Columbia is a university and government city, which gives it an unusually large rental stock. Tenant-occupied sales are common here, and they are the ones that most often collapse on the open market when a buyer discovers they cannot get vacant possession on their timeline.

Granby Mill Village and Waverly hold genuinely old housing with the repair profile that implies.

South Carolina foreclosure is judicial rather than the non-judicial route North Carolina uses. We buy with tenants in place, as-is, and we understand which state’s process applies.

How Does A Cash Sale Work Across Richland County?

Three steps, and an occupied property does not complicate any of them.

1Tell us about the propertyCall 704.459.5700. If it is tenanted, give us the rent, the term remaining and how the deposit is held.
2We come out onceA single visit, then a written cash figure, usually within 24 hours. Nobody needs to move out, tidy up or repair anything for that to happen.
3Everything closes in Richland CountyYour deed records with the Richland County Register of Deeds at 1701 Main Street, Room 101, Columbia. South Carolina requires a licensed attorney to supervise a residential closing, following the state Supreme Court decision in State v. Buyers Service Co., so an SC attorney handles it rather than a title company alone.

The paperwork side, here in Richland County

Every county handles deeds, estates and foreclosure slightly differently. Here is where things actually happen if your sale involves any of them.

DEEDS & TITLE

Richland County Register of Deeds, 1701 Main Street, Room 101, Columbia · 803.576.1910

If you have inherited a property here, the deed history sits with the Register of Deeds and the estate is administered through Columbia.

FORECLOSURE & TAX

South Carolina foreclosure is judicial — it runs through the Court of Common Pleas rather than a clerk’s hearing, so the timetable differs from North Carolina’s.

Unpaid property tax and estate matters are both handled through Columbia rather than through the town you live in.

Public information, correct at the time of writing — always confirm current details with the county office directly.

What Does It Cost To Wait In Richland County?

South Carolina works differently from North Carolina here, and the penalties stack rather than replace one another. Counties publish their own exact dates, so treat your tax notice as the authority rather than this page.

Bills issuedCommonly in October for the year just ended.
Payable without penaltyUp to 15 January.
From 16 JanuaryA three percent penalty is added.
After early FebruaryA further seven percent is added on top of that.
After mid-MarchAnother five percent again, and the account moves toward the delinquent tax process.
Why it mattersBecause these are cumulative, a bill left from January to spring grows substantially without anyone having to take action against you.

Public information, correct at the time of writing. Your county tax notice carries the binding dates — confirm with the county before relying on anything here.
